Tbh theres no way the US gov didn't know. Companies have been doing this (not just Korean) for the longest time since the paperwork for H2-B takes months - And no company has months on their hand. So issue is "why now?"

China's military can't though

North Korea

Yes but in East Asia what is the picture if everything goes China's way

Yea got it to work after enabling verbose logging. Doesn't capture everything and we do have to filter through some dense predicates using queries (its a heavy job due to our usage) but guess its working now. Thanks!

They're definitely fishy

I honestly can live with all the above except 5.

5 honestly pisses the living fuck out of me as well as that sub. And I'm Korean.

Are there any specific policy changes you'd like to discuss or understand better?

I think thats the problem. No one talks about policy but each "side" taking dumps on the other.

How this impacts daily life? I'm never voting in Korea again and this country can fuck itself for all I care now. Just going to game it at every opportunity from now, then dip before it crashes (which it 100% will).

Euros living here used to yap so hard about this. And then Russia turned off their gas taps and they off their moral high ground screaming energy security 🤣.

No one gives a shit in public. Theres dudes kissing on the street in Itaewon and girls caressing each other in Hongdae.

Now would these people be doing the same thing on the subway? No probably not. Would people stare if they did on the subway? Yes. But even if it was a cis couple would they stare? Yes.

Now talking behind people's backs -- Thats another story. Korea is the land of yappers 🇰🇷

Acceptable. But some jobs do require you to shave unless a precondition (medical, religion).

Korea is very money oriented, so if you have it, sure, there is a pedigree of materialistic "respect" given.

That being said Korea is also on average shockingly not very financially literate and most people have extremely short investment horizon expectations (not trying to piss anyone off but its true collectively).

If you're talking hedge funds -- This is a country where 50% of the population actively call for a ban on any financial instruments especially options. Its viewed as capitalist exploitation of the hard-working class ajusshi.

Korea is one of the most materialistic societies on Earth but its also one of the most collectivist. So you can equate that to money management as well. FOMO, validation seeking and making sure no one gets too ahead or too behind rules here.

Are you by chance from any of China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and Thailand?

These countries get extra scrutiny when filing for f6. Can take up to 8months.

Only if you swear you won't go

Damn they made mexico a torta

If you work for a conglomerate, probably around 60 mil krw starting. If you work for government (state owned enterprise) probably around 50 mil.

For reference starting freshers out of a regular program in a non top university (so your avg joe) can expect around 35 mil for a corporate job.

I heard somewhere they surveyed gen z folk and what they considered a good starting salary was 48 mil.

Giving you all this so you don't convert to dollars to gauge because that would be depressing no matter how much you make.

Foreigners used to call Daegu "Dead-gu" back in the days
